Oh, Lenore, I just love this story so. Much. It's the best kind of AU, where the circumstances are changed, but the characters are recognizable as themselves. And I love the original characters. The sheriff's been a favorite since the beginning (and I really like Flroa, too), and Mrs. Henderson is *adorable*.

I'm so *right there* with the boys in this, too, so anxious for Clark because I know that moment of truth is coming and I know it's going to hurt and I'm just hoping they make it through okay. *cuddles the boys*

I am really, really enjoying this series and it was a pleasure getting all caught up tonight. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
